General Description

The EVDD408/EVDD409/EVDI409/EVDN409/EVDD414

evaluation boards are general-purpose circuit boards

designed to simplify the evaluation of the IXYS IXDD408,

IXDD409, IXDI409, IXDN409 and IXDD414 gate drive ICs, as

well as to provide a building block for power circuit

development. Any of the four gate driver package types (SO-

8, Dip 8, 5pin TO-220 and the 5pin TO-263) may be installed

in the driver (the 5-Pin TO-263 is factory installed). The board

enables the user to drive MOSFETs or IGBTs in the TO-220,

TO-247, TO-264 or SOT-227 packages. The evaluation

board design allows these MOSFETS to be attached to a

heat sink, and in so doing the board assembly can be used

as a ground referenced, low side power switch for both

single-ended and push-pull configurations. The board layout

for the gate driver in the TO-220 and the TO-263 packages

(designator U1B), allows the ground tab to be soldered to

the ground plane for cooling in high-power, high frequency

applications with large MOSFET devices. Circuitry for the Tri-

State function is also included on the evaluation board.

Figure 1 is a photograph of the Evaluation Board loaded with

an IXDD408YI TO-263 driver and a SOT-227 MOSFET. The

low level inputs are shown on the left side of the board.

Control is a TTL high true input which controls the on or off

state of the power switch Q1, Q2, or Q3. Enable is a low true

input, which controls the Tri-State output (IXDD408, IXDD409

and IXDD414 devices only). VCC-IN is the low voltage, (8-

25V) power input, (see Figure 3 below). Figure 2 illustrates

the MOSFET mounting of a TO-220, TO-247, or TO-264

device. The MOSFET is mounted on the back side of the

PCB. A large through hole is provided so that the device can

be attached to a heat sink. The SOT-227 (shown in the

photograph) is mounted in a similar manner.

Circuit Operation

The schematic diagram for the evaluation board is shown in

Figure 4. The control gate is applied to R6 then on the input

pin 2 of the IC. This signal input is followed in time by the

output pins 7 and 6. Pins 1 and 8 are attached to +VCC via a

de-coupling network comprised of R1, C1 and R2, C2. Pins

4 and 5 are attached to the circuit ground plane. This is the

preferred arrangement of the bypassing for the Vcc input

power. The enable pin 3 is attached to the drain of Q4. This

device is used to level translate and provide an invert

function for the Tri-State mode when used with the IXDD408,

IXDD409 and IXDD414 devices. (The IXDI409 and IXDN409

devices do not utilize the enable input.) The drain of Q4 is

also attached to the gate of the MOSFET thru RA and DA. In

the Tri-State mode the turn-off time of the power MOSFET is

determined by the time constant of the input gate

capacitance C

IXDD408 and IXDD414 data sheets for additional

information on this mode of operation.

The U1 output is available at pins 7 and 6. These are

attached to the MOSFET via the two one-Ohm resistors R4

and R5. The values of these resistors may be changed to

optimize the performance of the specific device being driven.

Gate Driver IC Evaluation Boards

There are three test points on the board: Control, Gate and

Drain. These allow the user to easily attach an oscilloscope

probe and the associated ground to the circuit to verify

performance.

The Evaluation Boards are supplied with either IXDD408YI,

IXDD409YI, IXDI409YI, IXDN409YI or IXDD414YI 5-Pin TO-

263 devices installed, depending upon the evaluation baord

part number ordered. To use the evaluation board with a

different package type, the installed device must be re-

moved, and the new device installed in the appropriate

location.
